New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL -- Country of Origin Labeling(标签).
American congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.
Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are not included. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked foods.
The same food may sometimes have to be labeled and other times not. Fresh or frozen peas, for example, have to be labeled but not canned peas. Foods that are mixed with other foods are also excluded. Mixed nuts, for example, do not need to be labeled. The same is true of a salad mix that contains different things like lettuce and carrots. Or a fruit cup that combines different fruits. Also, the law doesn’t include restaurants and other food service organizations. Department of Agriculture officials say the law is really meant for larger grocery stores.
The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.
Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙门菌病), officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.
The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations(违反) that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1,000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.
Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.
1.Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?
A. It is economical and provides people with more choices.
B. Foreign food is of higher quality than native food.
C. Americans need more and more food recently.
D. The United States is short of food supply.
2.Consumers are more concerned about where foods come from because________.

D. most of them are food safety activists

C. Federal inspectors couldn’t take measures to enforce the law.

Larry Walters’boyhood dream was to fly. After finishing school, Larry joined the U.S. Air Force, but was refused from pilot-training school because of poor eyesight. However, his dream remained.
Larry, aged 33, was a truck driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting outside and watching jets fly overhead, an idea came to him to use weather balloons to fly.
A few weeks later, Larry bought 42 weather balloons. He tied them to a chair and filled them with helium(氦). Then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches and a BB gun. Larry’s plan was to float about 10 meters above his backyard, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then pop some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go according to Larry’s plan.
When his friends cut the lines, Larry lifted by the 42 balloons and shot skyward at an astonishing speed. He finally settled at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Afraid to pop any of the balloons, in case he should break the balance of his “craft”, Larry sat, cold and frightened, in the sky for 14 hours.
Airline pilots heading toward Los Angeles’busy international airport radioed in reports of the strange sight. Larry’s presence in the sky caused numerous planes to change their routes. Eventually, Larry worked up the nerve to shoot a few balloons and landed in power lines. Uninjured, he climbed down to safety and was arrested by waiting police.
Larry set a record for a gas-filled balloon flight. But it cost him. He was later fined $1,500 for breaking air safety regulations.
68. What’s the BB gun used for in the passage?
A. To protect Larry from unexpected danger. B. To fill the balloons with gas.

A. floated about 10 meters high B. remained in the sky for 14 hours
C. set a world record in making balloons D. became a truck driver after the flight

Summers’ “intrinsic（本身的）difference” theory is biased（偏见）against women. He can’t be president because he has lost the support of many female, and male students.
Summers should have realized the theory was controversial before he opened his mouth. As the leader of perhaps the world’s foremost research university, he should have known his opinions carry weight . If he didn’t realize that ,how could he be a leader of so many elites（精英）?
Judging from what Summers has done over the past five years, he works like a CEO. But university presidents are not corporate CEOs. A CEO has the authority to implement a new agenda by ordering subordinates around-and firing those who resist .But in a university, bold vision is not enough .You have to build consensus（共识）. Obviously Summers didn’t achieve that.
The turbulent five years reign of Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was brought to a close last week when he said he would resign in three months.
He embattled president was pressured in resignation, after controversy began last January.
Lawrence angered many after stating at an academic conference that “intrinsic difference” between men and women might help explain why fewer women than men reach top-level careers in math and science. Amid international attention, he was accused of discrimination against women.
However ,Summers also served Harvard with extraordinary vision and vitality（活力）. He increased access to a Harvard with education with financial aid, boosted science programs ,and diversified the school’s faculty.
The controversy is: Should Summers-a person with bold and sometimes offensive opinions, who at the same time brings something good to Harvard-be fined?
1．In Summers’ opinion, .
A．women are better than men in math and science
B．women are equal to men in math and science
C．fewer women are equal to men in math and science
D．women and men are both good in math and science
2．From the passage, we can infer that .
A．a university president and a CEO have the same authority
B．a university president should have bold vision and the same opinions with others
C．a university president can fire anyone who resists
D．a university president can order his or her subordinates to carry out a new agenda
3．Which of the following words can replace “turbulent” ?
A．confusing B．easy C．peaceful D．confused
